Decimal Blackjack - In this game, you will play against the robot. The object is to get as close as possible to 2 without going over by adding the decimals on your cards. If your sum is greater than the sum of the robot's cards without going over 2.0, then you win that round. Or, if the robot's sum is larger than 2.0 and yours is not, you also win that round. The first player to win three rounds wins the game. "Hit me" means you want another card; "Hold" means that you are going to keep the cards you have and the robot can have his turn.
